SUMMARY:The London Club
DESCRIPTION:London has more members’ clubs than any other city – something for everyone – actors\, plutocrats\, aristocrats\, bishops\, journalists\, jockeys\, architects\, sailors\, soldiers\, fishermen and even spies can find a home. From the oldest to the most recent\, historian Andrew Jones’s new book opens the door to 46 of the most beautiful\, interesting and unusual clubs in London\, presenting 300 years of architecture and design. In partnership with the Royal Oak Foundation\, we look forward to an inspired view into these perfectly preserved interiors\, original furniture and extraordinary collections. \nPurchase Tickets HERE!  \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to purchase one or more copies\, please visit Buxton Books. \nAbout the Book \nLondon has more private members’ clubs than any other city. There are clubs for every interest\, profession\, and background: from actors\, aristocrats\, architects\, artists\, and clergymen; to sailors\, soldiers\, journalists\, fishermen\, and spies. Historian and author Andrew Jones will illustrate some of the most beautiful and unusual of these clubs spanning 300 years of architecture and design —from the oldest clubs in London to the newest. He will highlight the clubs’ original interiors and exquisite furnishings as well as showcase the extraordinary collections they hold. For example\, he will reveal the concealed bookcase door in the library of The Travellers Club\, show the taxidermy fish at the Flyfishers’ Club\, display the nine billiard tables at The Mildmay Club\, and talk about the club that “Winnie-the-Pooh built”. Also\, he will show some of the more intimate spaces —The Beefsteak Club’s loos are wallpapered in facsimiles of members’ writings such as Evelyn Waugh\, while Home House lavatories display relics associated with member Soviet spy Anthony Blunt. From bohemian to bling\, shabby to chic\, quirky to grand\, Mr. Jones will celebrate the city’s strangest and most elegant private dining and drinking establishments. \nAbout the Author \nAndrew Jones is an author who has lived in Mayfair–London’s club land–for over 20 years. He is the author of The Buildings of Green Park\, a tour of certain buildings\, monuments and other structures in Mayfair and St. James’s. He writes about cities for the Financial Times and has also written on architecture for Blueprint\, Drawing Matter and The London Gardener as well as pieces on London for The World of Interiors and the Londonist. His lecture is drawn from his latest book The London Club: Architecture\, Interiors\, and Art(Fall 2025). \nAbout the Royal Oak Foundation \nThe Royal Oak Foundation seeks to raise awareness of and advance the work of the National Trust of England\, Wales\, and Northern Ireland by inspiring support from the United States for the Trust’s efforts to preserve 
and protect historic places and spaces—forever\, for everyone. In the United States\, Royal Oak offers a wide range of programs and activities focused on the National Trust\, British art and architecture\, fine & decorative arts\, gardens\, and history\, as well as conservation and historic preservation. These tours and day trips\, as well as our Royal Oak Lecture Series\, are offered in cities across the U.S. As an independent American not-for-profit organization\, Royal Oak fundraises for National Trust priorities and offers Americans a tax deduction for their contributions and membership dues. Overly nearly 50 years\, the Foundation has raised and granted almost $20 million to support the work of the National Trust. Projects range from the acquisition of important coastline to restoring historic houses\, to helping re-acquire works of art separated from their original properties. Royal Oak also sponsors selected Fellowships for Americans who wish to learn more about the National Trust and the rich heritage of Great Britain.

We look forward to hosting two former staffers to President George H. W. Bush\, Chief of Staff Jean Becker\, and personal driver Tom Collamore for illuminating first-hand accounts of pivotal and intriguing events from the Rose Garden to Air Force One and foreign trips to the campaign trail for every modern-day president from Lyndon Johnson to Barack Obama\, a few First Ladies and even a vice president or two. \nPurchase Tickets HERE! \nSecure one or more signed copies prior to this program via Buxton Books here. \nPrior to the program\, we invite our Fellows Members to enjoy Happy Hour from 5:00 – 6:00 pm\, downstairs in the Dr. Suzan D.

SUMMARY:The Marquis
DESCRIPTION:While there is no shortage of biographies about the Marquis de Lafayette\, this important confidant of the colonies remains one of the most iconic and beloved figures of the American Revolution. We look forward to hosting journalist and historian Marc Leepson on Lafayette: Lessons in Leadership from the Idealist General\, now launching its second printing with the University of Virginia Press. His focus goes beyond a chronology of his life and more specifically highlights the principled\, persistent\, and idealistic leadership qualities Lafayette demonstrated\, all of which resonate greatly in today’s political landscape. \nPurchase Tickets HERE! \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to purchase one or more copies\, please visit Buxton Books. \nAbout the Book \nThe Marquis de Lafayette is an icon of both American and French history. Lafayette: Idealist General\, a concise and engaging biography of this captivating figure\, was first published in hardcover as part of Macmillan’s World Generals Series\, and now available in a paperback edition for the first time from the University of Virginia Press. The book reveals how Lafayette\, born in 1757 into an aristocratic French family of warriors\, traveled to the colonies at the age of nineteen to fight as a volunteer in the Revolutionary War. Continental Army Major General Lafayette was soon embraced by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson\, who became his lifelong friends. A fearless\, accomplished battlefield commander\, Lafayette also helped to convince the French court to provide crucial financial and military support to the Americans\, which immeasurably aided the defeat of the British. On his return to France\, Lafayette played a leading role in the movement to make France a constitutional monarchy. He served as commander of the National Guard during the French Revolution\, and as a member of the Chamber of Deputies\, opposed Napoleon’s rule. Later\, in 1830\, he was instrumental in ending the short-lived July Revolution that brought the “citizen king\,” Louis-Philippe\, to the throne. This focused biography of the legendary French statesman and military man offers a unique examination of his remarkable military career on both sides of the Atlantic. \nAbout the Author \nJournalist and historian Marc Leepson is the author of eleven books\, including Saving Monticello; Flag: An American Biography\, a history of the Stars & Stripes from its beginnings to the 21st century; What So Proudly We Hailed: Francis Scott Key\, A Life; and Lafayette: Idealist General\, a concise biography of the Marquis de Lafayette. His latest book\, The Unlikely War Hero\, a slice-of-life biography of Doug Hegdahl\, the youngest and lowest-ranking American POW held in North Vietnam\, was published in December 2024. A former staff writer for Congressional Quarterly in Washington\, D.C.\, he has written for many magazines and newspapers\, including Preservation\, Smithsonian\, Military History\, Civil War Times\, the Washington Post\, New York Times\, New York Times Book Review\, and The Wall Street Journal. He has also written entries for the Encyclopedia Britannica\, Encyclopedia Americana\, and the Dictionary of Virginia Biography. He is Senior Writer\, Arts Editor\, and columnist for The VVA Veteran\, the magazine published by Vietnam Veterans of America. From 2008-2015\, he taught U.S. history at Laurel Ridge Community College in Warrenton\, Virginia. He has been interviewed many times on radio\, television\, and podcasts\, including on The Today Show\, CNN\, MSNBC\, Discovery Channel\, The History Channel\, History Detectives\, All Things Considered\, Talk of the Nation\, Morning Edition\, and The BBC NewsHour. And he has presented papers\, chaired panels at academic conferences\, and spoken to students at many colleges\, universities\, and high schools. Marc Leepson graduated from George Washington University in 1967. After serving in the U.S. Army from 1967-69\, including a year in the Vietnam War\, he received his honorable discharge and went on to earn a Master’s Degree in history from George Washington in 1971. He lives in Loudoun County\, Virginia\, with his wife\, Janna. Their daughter\, son-in-law\, and two-and-a-half-year-old twin granddaughters live on James Island.
